SMILE ID SONG FROM HOME BRING JDY TO TO ILL YANKS

Bt United Press. i PARI3, Oct. IS. (By Mail.) It was one of those days when everything had! gone wrong in the convalescent wards. of a certain French hospital, partly given over to wounded American soldiers. Most of the men wre getting along nicely, that was tho trouble. Heroes don't work at heroics all the while; and if there is ever a time when they knock off on the job. it is while they are convalescing. Any nurse w ill tell you that. On this particular day men who had distinguished themselves like martyrs while they waited for stretcher bearers, were acting like kindergartneis with sore thumbs. The curtains wece too high, and the curtains were too low. The beds were too soft, and the beds were too hard. The oatmeal was raw, and the oatmeal was overdone. Only the iothers at home, who had nursed the husky warriors through mumps and measles could have thought them heroes just then. Nothing Was Just Sight, "Dam that pillow:" muttered one of the American soldiers. It hurt him to hit it so hard, and you could tell from the expression on his face, but it would have hurt him tnore not to hit something Just then. "Monsieur Should look out for the collar-bone." reproved the little French lied Cross nurse. Under his breath the American soldier said something that sounded like, " 's my collar-bone'." "I shall read to you. no?" offered the little nurse to ths half-jlozen nearest American soldiers. "No!" they agreed instantly, in as nearly vicious a way as they could speak to anyons so kind as the little French nurse. "Just look at that, wauld you?" added one of the boys. "Disgusting. I call it! Simply disgusting!" Love a Iioverr os They all turned and stared with the greatest animosity at a cot nearby, where a pretty French girl was saying goouby to her "poilu" after her afternoon visit at the Hospital. It was really a charming scene, but the nurse, who was gifted with imagination, understood why the American boys hated to look at It. "The poor ones!" she said, to herseir. "It is that they have le mal du pays. One can do nothing for them." , As If to contradict her. the door opened at that moment, and 4 women came into the ward American women by every sign The little French nurse would have known it, if only by the way the leaders drew a long breath before plunging into her French question, after the manner of one about to take an ocean dip on a chilly day. They wore the gray uniforms of the V- M. C. A. Hut they had another insignia which made the little French nurse who knew of Benjamin Franklin only sketchily. look at them again. Under their arms each carried plump, crusty loaves of bread, partly concealed by thin paper wrappings. "They told us there were American boys here." the leader said. "Could ws see them?" Answsr Is whoop. Could they? The boys answered the. question themselves with a wild hoop. Callers from home? Someone to see thsmf "Hello, boys!" smiled the T. M. C. A. women, coming up to the cots. "See what we've brought you! White bread!" There was another whoop at that. "We knew you'd like it." beamed the motherly woman who led the party, "We've been wanting some ourselves so much that we know just how you felt about it. So we looked all over Paris frr white VtreaH for von. and then at last we found something at the Amerl- j can commissary, see. mere s jam an.-' some butter, too! Let's have a party." Want to Hsar Nw. The hoys fell upon the white bread with the gusto of famished men. They at one piece and asked for aother. They finished that, and begged for a third. Meanwhile iney asked all sorts of eager questions. Had any of the T. M. C. A. women ever been In Paris, Illinois? Gee, but it had it on anything in France! Was the new subway in New Tork really as bad as it was painted?' What wers they singing now, back in the United States? One of the women, who had come to France in Y. m. C. A. entertainment work, started a vocal class at once, and you would have said that those wonded American soldiers never had been guilty of a grouch in all their lives if you could have heard them singing: "K-k-k-Katle. beautiful Katla, Tour're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore." They were still grinning happily, their good nature utterly restored, when the last crumb cf whita bread had been eaten, and the T. M. C. A. women had to say goodby. The litt'-e French nurse

Zt Was a Treat, All Right. "Oh, I guess they weren't so glad to see us as they were to get some white bread," modestly disclaimed one of the Y. M. C. A. women. "Le pain!" said the nurse. "But they have that everyday, both' at tho front and here. The hospital is furnished white bread for les Americans." The Y. M. C. A. women looked at each other for a moment, then they laughed. "And they have it all the time," said one of them, when she could speak. "You'll never know how near we came to eating that bread on the way here. Why, we thought white bread would please them more than anything. We thought we were giving them a treat." "I do not know that word 'treat,'" said the little French nurse, pronouncing it cautiously. "But I think, Mesdames, you have brought them something better than bread." m OEPT. BUSY WITH ITS PLANS Washington Seething With Activity for. the Arrangements to Get Boys Home From Cantonment and Trenches. By CARL D. GROAT (United Press Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Nov. IS. Early demobilization of the "dlzxy brigades" development battalions in home cantonments and quick return of sick and wounded from over seas are the so!e Immediate home coming plans of the war department. However, scheme are rapidly shaping themselves today whereby the west bound movement of troops can be undertaken soon. The trip of Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board, to Europe deals mainly with the problem of return of United States soldiers to this country". New Tork reports quoting him as-saying 300,000 men can be returned monthly were qualified by the statement that this can be done if the war department desires so rapid a movement. That the departmet has not yet decided on so pronounced a flow seems likely. However, general staff Indications are that the New England. Rainbow and perhaps Sunset divisions will be back by Christmas with perhaps a few more. There is a disposition to return the men according to length of service, but more particularly on the basis of indutsrlal adaptability. Hence, certain service of supply men. mechanics, electricians and the like are apt to be called out first for return home. A proposal is to be worked out whereby some idle German and Austrian tonnage can be utilized for troop transport. Erigland has already withdrawn some of her shipping from United States service and this process will increase as England needs her ships for her own transport problems. The indefiniteness of the troop question, like the vagueness of many other problems here, is causing uneasiness in Industrial lines. Business agencies are clamoring daily for an expression of policy. They want to know what to expect of the labor market. Demobilization of the development battalions releases men who are under physiqued. Most of them would pass as sound, but were not sound enough for overseas duty. Hence the army sought to develop them by apecial treatment. The battalions have in reality been a millstone on the neck of the military establishment and the war department is quite willing to demobilize them. Considerations of humanity will hurry the return of sick and wounded from abroad. It is more blessed to give than to ; receive.
